Experience the beauty of Lake Como with an all in one day trip departing from Milan. This package combines a comfortable train ride, a scenic ferry cruise, and a visit to one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau residences in Italy. Your journey begins at any station in Lombardy or from Milan, where you board a train to the city of Como. Avoid the stress of driving and parking as you relax and enjoy the views of the Italian countryside.
From Como, board a Navigazione Laghi ferry to explore the stunning western shore. Your destination is Cernobbio, home to the magnificent Villa Bernasconi. Built in 1906 by architect Alfredo Campanini for the silk entrepreneur Davide Bernasconi, the villa is a masterpiece of Liberty style architecture. This residence was once the heart of a silk citadel, including factories and workers housing, reflecting the rich industrial heritage of the region.
Today, Villa Bernasconi is an innovative museum house known as the house that talks. Unlike traditional sites, this house tells its storey and that of its former residents in the first person. Visitors are guided by the voices of the villa through a multisensory journey exploring art, history, and textile culture. Whether you are an architecture lover, a history buff, or travelling with family, the immersive exhibits make you feel truly at home. After discovering the elegance of Cernobbio and the unique charm of the villa, enjoy a ferry ride back to Como before taking your return train to Milan for a perfect end to your trip.
